Performance synopsis

A one-act ballet by Anna Hop based on Aleksander Fredro’s comedy of the same title. A humorous soap opera about a love quadrangle told in the language of dance. Elwira and Wacław – a married couple in a crisis, Alfred – an insincere friend of Wacław, and Justysia – a calculating maid. An explosive cocktail with a twist in the finale.

“I haven’t seen anything so wonderfully light, witty and yet open to tradition in years. Brilliant!” Professor Bogdan Zakrzewski
